Author Topic: Lol, I know more about F-16s than I ever dreamed I would.  (Read 1403 times)

I had a test today.

It was over the pre-CCIP EEFCC, FCC, DEEU, CDEEU for block 30 and 40, and the post-CCIP MMC for block 50. These run the ECPDG which runs the CMDFs. You also have the DED and PFLD... controlled by the ICP and IKP. These all having their own multi-plex buses (AMUX, BMUX, CMUX, DMUX, FMUX, and WMUX) and PSUs. The EEFCC only uses the AMUX. The Block 40 DEEU and CDEEU use AMUX and DMUX. Also, the DEEU only has volatile memory and uses two lithium-ion batteries to maintain its 8k scratch-pad memory alongside its 24k memory. It's also combined with its own power supply and both have to be removed to service one. There's also a need for a cooling fan. The CDEEU improved on this design by separating them, no longer needing a cooling fan, and adding an ethernet port so it can be reprogrammed without removal. The ICP (Forward roosterpit) and IKP (aft roosterpit [D-model only]) control the information displayed by the DED and PFLD. And then there's the JHMCS...

That's random stuff from memory and only about 1/4 of what I tested on today. We've only just begun. Oh God.

psh I knew all that when I was 10

Press left shift to accelerate, F to toggle weapons, and left mouse to shoot.


I've also sat in the roosterpit of (a real) one many times and done troubleshooting. I pretty much know what all the buttons, switches, and knobs do. It's neat.

How to open gear?

Hehe. I am sure he has use for that advice.

I wouldn't even be able to remember any of the buttons,switches and knobs.


When it comes to the armed forces, it's either remember all dat stuff, or be an infantryman in the Marines/Army and have to know how to assemble a rifle blindfolded in the shortest amount of time.

Or like a third or fourth or fifth option or something

I was about to disassemble and reassemble my M-16 in 43 seconds. I could to it blindfolded in about a minute and a half. Good stuff.

You should talk NerdCubed through the basics of that flight sim he has then. That'd be cool.


What aircraft?
I think it's an f-16 but i may be wrong. I can't remember what the video was called either.


Anything about the Flying Wheel Jeep?
